Thanks I love this new fuji touring bike. After a few hundred miles i'll make a review since this bike doesn't really have much for newer reviews

Ready for another 50,000 miles

This 'Quest' is my everyday commuter, it just turned over 50,000 miles this week. Took 9 1/2 years. Other then the frame it has only one original part.





This 'Free Sprit' is my winter / really bad weather commuter. Not much to look at but cheaper then rebuilding the 'Quest' every Spring.

Took this picture this morning on the way to work. I've been traveling with my foam pumpkin this week for Halloween! I get zero points for originality though, since I got the idea from @bconneraz last year.

nice pic -- u should cut out the top of the foam pumpkin and just carry stuff inside there instead of panniers!

What's going on with those red lights -- do you have some kind of light system that goes all the way around the wheel and a computer controls it to sense the inertia and only light on the upswing?

Actually, the pumpkin already has holes... because it's a jack-o-lantern. You just can't see it in that picture. I have a light inside so it glows during night commutes.

As for the wheel lights, they are Revolights (revolights.com), and work pretty much as you describe. I haven't re-mounted the front one back on the bike yet. (I took them off for the summer/fall months)

Yep, that's my 330Ci. It now qualifies for low-mileage-insurance because I've been commuting so much.

This is the most recent image. I just replaced the saddlebag with an xlab mezzopod but don't have a good pic of that setup yet.

Looks like a bluetooth speaker, perhaps a Jawbone.

How did you get water-bottle cages mounted onto your fork? It looks like you might have 3(?) brazeons on each side of the fork?
